Listening to music using Jabra BT8040
Jabra BT8040 is capable of streaming music over Bluetooth either from a mobile phone or any other Bluetooth device
supporting A2DP. Once you have paired your BT8040 with your
mobile phone or to the Bluetooth music player, use your phone or
music player to play, pause, stop, skip forward, or backward. When
you receive a call, the music will be automatically suspended and
you will be able to answer or reject a call through the headset.
Once you end a call, the music should restart. On some phones
and music devices you may have to press ‘play’ to restart the
music.
Using Jabra BT8040 with 2 mobile phones
Jabra BT8040 is capable of having two mobile phones (or Bluetooth devices) connected to the headset at the same time. This
will give you the freedom of having only one headset to operate
both of your mobile phones. Please note that Last Number Redial
will dial the number from the last outgoing call, independent of
the mobile phones, and the Voice Dialing function will only work
on the last paired mobile phone.
Jabra bt8040 Bluetooth sterEo headset
The Jabra BT8040 can be used along with the Jabra Bluetooth Hub
(sold separately). This will enable you to use the headset with your
mobile and office phones.
To pair the Jabra BT8040 with the Jabra Bluetooth Hub
The pairing process is a little different:
1. Put your Jabra BT8040 in pairing mode.
2. Put the Jabra Bluetooth Hub in pairing mode.
3. Place them close together. You do not need a dedicated
pin code to pair the two Jabra products. Consult the Jabra
Bluetooth Hub user manual for more information on how to
connect the Bluetooth hub to your office phone.
The use of the Jabra BT8040 with the Jabra Bluetooth Hub is very
similar to using the headset with a mobile phone only. The only
difference is in the transfer of a call to the headset from the office
phone.
english
Using a Jabra Bluetooth Hub
Transfer the call to the headset
• Tap the answer/end button to transfer the call from the office
phone to the headset via the Jabra Bluetooth Hub
The answering of a call from the office phone requires a hook lifter
in order to have the Jabra BT8040 answer the call automatically.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
I hear crackling noises
• Bluetooth is a radio technology, which means it is sensitive to
objects between the headset and the connected device. It is
designed for the headset and the connected device to be used
within 33 feet (10 meters) of each other, with no major objects
in the way (walls, etc.).
I cannot hear anything in my headset
• Increase the volume in the headset
• Ensure that the headset is paired to a device that is playing
• Make sure your phone is connected to the headset by tapping
the Answer/End button.
Jabra bt8040 Bluetooth sterEo headset
I want to reset the headset
It is possible to reset and test the headset by ’Pressing and holding’ all three buttons at the same time. The red, blue, and green
lights will light up in a white light. In this mode, the pairing list is
reset, and you can test if the headset works, as you will be able to
hear audio in the speaker from the microphone.
The headset will automatically turn off after approx. 10 seconds.
The next time you power on, the headset will go into pairing
mode just like the first time you powered on your new BT8040.
Will the Jabra BT8040 work with other Bluetooth equipment?
• The Jabra BT8040 is designed to work with Bluetooth mobile
phones. It can also work with other Bluetooth devices that are
compliant with Bluetooth version 1.1 or higher and that support a headset, hands-free, and/or advance audio distribution
profile.
english
I am having pairing problems
•You may have deleted your headset pairing connection in your
mobile phone.
Follow the pairing instructions.
I cannot use reject call, call on hold, redial, or voice dialing
These features are dependent on the ability of your phone to support a hands-free profile. Even if the hands-free profile is implemented, the reject call, call hold, or voice dialing are all optional
features that are not supported by all devices. Please consult your
device manual for further details.
Please note that some features can only be operated from the
primary device e.g. voice dial using Jabra BT8040 with 2 mobile
phones.
The device does not connect to my headset in time to answer
an incoming call
If the headset is off and is turned on when a call is incoming, the
device and headset might not connect in time for the call to be
answered. In order to avoid such inconveniences please keep the
headset on, in range, and connected.

The music player starts playing when connecting to the
headset
Some phones may stat the music player once it connects to the
headset. Pair your headset again to the device in order to avoid
this behavior.
1. Ensure that the headset is off
2. Press and hold the answer/end button for approx. 5 sec. until
the light turns to solid blue
3. Continue to press and hold the answer/end button until the
solid blue light turns off
4. Continue to press and hold until a solid purple light turns on
Go through the regular steps in oairing the headset to a Bluetooth
device.
The music stream from my connected device is choppy or the
music pitch is changing
If you have connected two devices and move out of range of
one device while playing music from the connected device, the
headset will try to reconnect to the lost device. This can cause
the audio stream to be disrupted. For example, the music audio is
choppy or the audio pitch varies. In order to prevent this, do not
go out of range of your paired/connected devices.

1. Bluetooth is a radio technology that connects devices, such
as mobile phones and headsets, without wires or cords over
a short distance (approx. 30 feet). Obtain more information at
www.bluetooth.com.
2. Bluetooth profiles are the different ways that Bluetooth
devices communicate with other devices. Bluetooth phones
support either the headset profile, the hands-free profile, or
both. In order to support a certain profile, a phone manufacturer must implement certain mandatory features within the
phone’s software.
3. Pairing creates a unique and encrypted link between two
Bluetooth devices and lets them communicate with each other.
Bluetooth devices will not work if the devices have not been
paired.
4. A Passkey or PIN is a code that you enter on your mobile
phone to pair it with your Jabra BT8040. This makes your phone
and the Jabra BT8040 recognize each other and automatically
work together.
5. The Standby mode is when the Jabra BT8040 is passively waiting for a call. When you ‘end’ a call on your mobile phone, the
headset goes into standby mode.
